I know that Apple's new design isn't the most unique design that they have had, and that there are a lot of products out there that look almost like it, but I mean-- this is an obvious take from Apple's design no doubt. If you have to take a good look at the picture to see the differences, then I think that there is reason to bitch about look-alike stuff. haha

Anyways, nice looking laptop! Would buy one if I wanted to have a windows computer due to their likeness. Haha. You can't dress up the shit inside enough to make me want it.

MSI and other companies once they see it's a success, just RIP it off and don't have to actually invest R&D. MacBook Air form factor is pretty original, those photos show its a pretty blatant rip. Not just the black screen and silver body, but the whole thinness of it.

And for people who actually are hating on Apple, sit down. Seriously if you're not a designer you don't how infuriating and sad it is to see your designs ripped off by other non-talented designers making money off it by selling it cheaper.

I've been waiting for years for Apple's unibody solution which provides genuine strength at a light weight. This feature is still not found in other brands, I believe. (Sony's carbon-fibre gimmick doesn't count!)]]>Feb 23rd 2009 8:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/msi-unveils-new-x-slim-models-ahead-of-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/msi-unveils-new-x-slim-models-ahead-of-cebit/
Yeah, no one created an ultra thin laptop before Apple *cough* Sony X505 *cough*]]>Feb 23rd 2009 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/msi-unveils-new-x-slim-models-ahead-of-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/msi-unveils-new-x-slim-models-ahead-of-cebit/
But then I'm sure the designer of Sony's VAIO laptops were pretty pissed off to see that chicklet style keyboard appear in Apple's products.
Apple steals every bit as much as everyone else, originality in laptop form factors is like originality in car design, there is nothing new under the sun.]]>Feb 23rd 2009 8:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/msi-unveils-new-x-slim-models-ahead-of-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/msi-unveils-new-x-slim-models-ahead-of-cebit/
True. But Apple respected the design. No one is going to say OMG Apple cloned Sony's X505. No one is ever going to mistake one for the other for a second.

MSI could have done the same and tried to improved the stylings of AIR and take it to another level beyond hardware changes. Imagine if they did though, you'd have far superior design to AIR and hardware changes to boot. ]]>Feb 23rd 2009 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/msi-unveils-new-x-slim-models-ahead-of-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/msi-unveils-new-x-slim-models-ahead-of-cebit/Producer C rips of producer B and then it becomes a blatant copy?
Or.. the neatest of all, producer D makes a mobile in a generic form but obviously its a blatant copy of producer B (not realizing that producer E had already something like that in the shops wayyyy before B was even ready to present the product)...

C'mon they all produce something thats generic, you want a flat laptop... guess what it tends to be a laptop with a keyboard a screen and its flat. Apple didn't patent the silver nor did they patent the shiney white or whatever else there is around. What is interesting is that this laptop is half of the price with better options. The only thing MSI could suffer from in this case is maybe porer quality, yet that isn't something I've seen before from MSI so i seriously doubt that is going to happen either.]]>Feb 24th 2009 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/msi-unveils-new-x-slim-models-ahead-of-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/msi-unveils-new-x-slim-models-ahead-of-cebit/

These also won't, I believe, include apple tax and may actually
be affordable to the average user.

Don't get me wrong I love the new macbook line and I think that
it's a beautiful piece of design, but it hurts how much it costs.]]>Feb 23rd 2009 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/msi-unveils-new-x-slim-models-ahead-of-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/msi-unveils-new-x-slim-models-ahead-of-cebit/Feb 23rd 2009 9:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/msi-unveils-new-x-slim-models-ahead-of-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/msi-unveils-new-x-slim-models-ahead-of-cebit/Feb 23rd 2009 8:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/msi-unveils-new-x-slim-models-ahead-of-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/msi-unveils-new-x-slim-models-ahead-of-cebit/Feb 23rd 2009 8:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/msi-unveils-new-x-slim-models-ahead-of-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/msi-unveils-new-x-slim-models-ahead-of-cebit/personally, i'm liking what i see from msi in the laptop department more and more.
